Definitions

  • This invention refers to a sealed filament anti-splash urinal mat consisting of small strands that prevent liquid splashing thus eradicating the spread of diseases.
  • This mat also has different conic levels to prevent the accumulation of liquids in the mat's base.
  • This mat was manufactured in order to prevent bad odors from urine accumulated outside urinals when it splashes and contacts urinals' walls and/or waste liquids inside them, trapping liquid falling down and not letting liquid accumulate on the mat's base as it happens with other products, because it has different conic levels that lead liquids to the drainage and keep the mat free of waste liquid and bad odors.
  • it offers a more hygienic environment by preventing the spread of possible diseases to the users via cross contamination at the time they are splashed with urinal waste liquids.
  • Urinal mats of the pre-known kind are disclosed in US 5 774 905 A and in GB 2 473 273 A .
  • This mat was created thinking in preventing liquid splashes in urinals and its surroundings as well as in mat durability by having draining urine quickly and effectively through its different conic levels.
  • This mat is manufactured from a strong plastic material resistant to the corrosion produced by liquid accumulation due to its different elevations that facilitates liquid drainage.
  • the urinal anti splash mat (1) structured with sealed-filaments to prevent urine splashes by cutting off its drop and bad odors caused by urine accumulation, because it also has different conic levels (5) that guide liquids to the orifices (3) located at the mat's base.
  • Orifices (3) are distributed in such a way that they go directly to the urinal's drain. They are distributed throughout the anti-splash mat's base, have sealed filaments and different conic levels (5) in each one of the orifices (3) to prevent possible accumulation of liquids at the mat's base (2).
  • the sealed filament anti-splash mat's base (2) has different conic levels (5) distributed along the base (2) to lead liquids to the orifices (3) through which urine flows to the drain once the filaments had done their job of trapping the urine when falling preventing the splashes outside the urinal. Underneath the mat's base (2) there are some studs/short legs (4) whose function is to let flow the liquids beneath the mat.
